External Links
Links to external websites are listed in the left-hand margin.
Initially these links are set up so that you will leave this site and be re-directed
to the external site. If you prefer to open these sites in a pop-up window you can do
so by pressing the "no popup windows" button. The text will change to "popup windows"
and from then on external sites will open in popup windows.
You can reset this feature by pressing the button again. The text will change
back "no popup windows" and you will again leave this site and be re-directed
to the external site.
Text only
The standard display of this site includes graphic images on every page.
If you are accesing via a mobile device these are automatically not displayed
in order to speed up the download time.
You can also choose to remove the images by pressing the the "Text-only version"
button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
In the Text-only version you can either return to the graphics version by pressing the
"graphics version" or change to the "high-visibility version" which provides a
higher contrast between text and background. This may help those with impaired vision.
Website Accessibility
We have used 'Hermish' evaluation tools to check accessibility They are designed to help bring web sites up to required standards outlined by The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Web guidelines in compliance to the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) This is a set of guidelines with different priority levels. The European Union suggests that websites have at least Priority level 1. The United States have their own set of guidelines named Section 508. .
All the pages in this site have been validated for W3C Priority levels 1, 2, and 3 and U.S 508 standards.
In addition we have validated the pages for conformance with the latest W3C standards for coding - CSS and XHTML 1.1. This means that the pages should be able to be accessed using any browser or device ( e.g handheld, text-only, aural browser ) that also conforms to standards.
